I've liked Nadler's work so far so I'm definitely looking forward to the new album.

Took 6 months but I'm finally digging Tame Impala's album "Currents". Gotta see them this summer
I'm really liking the new Car Seat Headrest song. I didn't realise Teens of Style was a compilation album, so I was surprised to see new material so soon. Makes sense to me now though!
Car Seat Headrest - Vincent
Also, i'm loving Bleached's new stuff. I love the 80's summery indie rock style of it. They kind of remind me of 'Crash' by The Primitives, but with chunkier chords.
Bleached - Keep on Keepin' On
Bleached - Wednesday Night Melody
Edit:
Hadn't heard these before, listening now (to the previous album) and it's pretty good!

I've basically been a sucker for everything Nada Surf puts out but their new album is one of their best yet. Streaming at NPR below. These guys are so consistent and incredibly underrated:

Anyone listen to the 1975's new album? Few decent tracks. Expect a lot to get regular airplay over the next few months though that'll probably make me hate it.
Anyone else listening to the new School of Seven Bells album? I am really liking it so far. Just melodically relaxing and catchy.
It got 4 stars on The Guardian. I suspect its good for people who like that kind of stuff.
oh and stay away from the Radio, they are being played every few minutes or so.

Real big fan of this debut from DMA's. It's a shame these guys are being pigeon holed as some sort of Oasis rip off by some reviewers. The album is great and they have a really bright future

third yuck record is so bland, the last song sounds like built to spill which is cool but everything else just sounds like repackaged real estate b-sides.
They've been done since their debut.
just listened to it on the way to work and I mostly agree. there are sorta good songs ("Hearts in Motion", "Only Silence", "Yr Face") and everything else is forgettable. I actually like Glow & Behold more, that one at least has "Lose My Breath" which is as good as any song on their first album
I wonder if Blumberg will ever do another Hebronix record. the first was alright, but it looks like he mostly does visual art now and occasionally plays a show.
Based on the few things I checked and their press photos, I'd say the reviewers are dead on. You could plop these guys in a time machine and send them back to 94,and nobody would notice.

It's unfortunate as they were better with Daniel Blumberg in the band, and Daniel Blumberg was better with them as well as opposed to his projects since.

I don't think that should be held against them though. They've put out a hell of a debut
Yup. Haven't enjoyed Yuck nearly as much after the first record. Not just whatever songwriting contributions he made, but his vocals as well tbh.
Whoa. This right here...goddamn. Beautiful.
Check out the magic wands. It's like beach house dropped acid and did a psych record. So good.
I did and it was amazing.

If you like dream pop and video game music then you'll dig the Crescendo album, likely.
It was a worthwhile listen. Thanks for the rec.

I've been looking for an album that was posted somewhere here before but I can't remember it. I know that the album art was a Renaissance-style painting of something covered in a shroud and bleeding (maybe it was in a bathtub). I also remember the song being described as very Joy Divisiony.
That came out last year?
Maybe One of these:

Soft Kill - Heresy?
Or if you don't mean from last year, maybe Have a Nice Life - Deathconsciousness?

Anyone listen to much Public Access TV? The few Spotify singles are good, solid Indie Rock.
Ughh.
I really want to go to NOS Alive, but the flights are so fucking expensive.
The acts playing are fantastic.
You have to jump on these European festivals quickly as the flights scale up in price as they sell more plane tickets. I'm going to NOS Alive, but only because I was basically priced out of Primavera in Barcelona for the same reason.
I know, unfortunately I was waiting on my friends to get their act together.
Just researching other routes, so hopefully I'll be able to find something decent. :/

I decided to do Benicassim this year before seeing the NOS Alive line-up. I really really regret that choice now.
Same, was hard enough getting people to go to Benicassim and the lineup so far has been meh

Damn, didn't know, thanks for the heads up!
Edit: Really like it, is there an album release coming up soon?
The new M83 track is garbage, come on Anthony
After Hurry Up, We are Dreaming, keeping your expectation in check would be advisable. That was the start of it all.
While extremely bloated, there was some good stuff on hurry up.
While I liked to some degree, that album was way more poppy than i should. The main tracks sounded like they were made for the masses.
But yeah, it had some great ambient, atmospheric tracks, but the pop ones were too much. I really liked the balance of Saturday = Youth struck of being synthy pop and experimental on its own way.
